Brain Healthy Foods: The Mediterranean Diet
03/08/20 • 32 min
Today on The People's Scientist podcast, I was asked, "what are some brain healthy foods?" I first had to ask myself, what is brain healthy? I concluded that brain healthy meant, the normal homeostatic functioning of our brain and prevention of disease. So, when I dove into the scientific literature, the most scientific evidence supported the benefit of The Mediterranean Diet and a reduced risk of dementia, depression, and stroke. In today's episode, I discuss the components of The Mediterranean Diet and how these foods and way of eating may promote brain health.

Can Video Games Promote Mental Health?
On this week's episode of The People's Scientist podcast, I wanted to do a positive and light hearted episode during this time when we may be feeling stressed, anxious, and isolated during the COVID19 outbreak. So I provide some ideas on things we can do while stuck at home such as achieving our forgotten goals and also video games. The impact of video games on mental health has been controversial. But overall, the clinical trials on video games illustrate a benefit with moderate use. Some benefits include: enhanced social interaction, improved learning, rehabilitation, enhanced brain reward recruitment, neuroplasticity, and more. Tune in for all the details.
